Scraped area on the skin (8)
I believe the answer is:
abrasion
'scraped area on the skin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for abrasion that I've seen before include "Asian bro with scrape" , "Grazing" , "showing wear" , "Cut or scratch" , "A scrape or mark of rubbing" .)
